münchen minimal – it goes on

münchen (munich) minimal – the successful berlin minimal series now finds its long-planned continuation: Andreas Bromba has been photographing the Bavarian capital since September 2020. The goal is again: to see the familiar in a new way, to discover one’s own city as well as to overcome contrasts through the minimalist visual language – and of course the joy of art. berlin minimal was photographed with the sensational PolaGraph 35mm film – in other words, analogue. Unfortunately, Polaroid has taken this film, which is very popular with photographers, off the market. Andreas Bromba has therefore modernised its pictorial language and created his own – now digital – template that comes close to the original. In doing so, he deliberately refrained from imitating the coarse-grained and sometimes unpredictable PolaGraph film. In the foreword to the berlin minimal exhibition book, the then Berlin Senator for Culture, Prof. Christoph Stölzl, wrote: “I am certain that these pictures can give their viewers the most beautiful pleasure that art has in store for us: Surprise, amazement, recognition and smiles.” In …

Mystic Mayan Land

Mystic Mayan land: Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and the Caribbean Sea – turquoise, green and emerald. These are also the colours of Andreas Bromba’s new photo series. In it, the ancient stone buildings, pyramids and artefacts of the once important Mayan city of Chichén Itzá are also shown in many shades. There are about 30 motifs from September 2019, mostly from Chichén Itzá. In addition, there are further motifs from the Museum of Ethnology in Mexico City, a unique museum worldwide for the ancient peoples of Mesoamerica. Many well-known motifs have been impressing visitors from all over the world here for decades: the “sun wheel” of the Aztecs, creepy goddesses and gods (good models for horror films) or the Olmec heads weighing tons. Mexico is too big – you can’t see everything. The Museum of Ethnology is a good substitute. The museum’s outdoor areas are particularly well done: you think you’re standing in a (primeval) forest. Some motifs were created here, as if in the dense forest of Yucatan – and yet in the middle of …

Neu: Mystisches Maya-Land

15.04.2021 – Mystisches Maya-Land: Mexikos Halbinsel Yucatan und das Karibische Meer – türkis, grün und smaragdgrün. Das sind auch die Farben der neuen Fotoserie von Andreas Bromba. Die Fotografien stammen überwiegend aus der einst bedeutenden Maya-Stadt Chichén Itzá und zeigen alte Steingebäude, Pyramiden und Artefakte in all ihren Schattierungen – nicht touristisch, nicht archäologisch, sondern lebendig, als hätten sich die Erbauer und ihre Götter einfach nur vor den Eroberern versteckt.

Andreas Brombas Fotos auf Hahnemühle Photo Rag Fine Art Papier

Alle Motive auf Hahnemühle-FineArt-Papier

16.04.2020 – Auf der Kunstmesse ARTMUC im Oktober 2019 wurde mir häufig die Frage nach sammlerkonformen, lichtbeständigen und hochwertigen Fotodrucken gestellt, weil Sammlerinnen und Sammler gerne an die Zukunft denken. Außerdem wirken Fotografien nicht auf jedem Material gleich gut, sondern es gibt große Unterschiede. Nach einer Testphase mehrerer Papiere habe ich mich für das PhotoRag FineArt-Papier von Hahnemühle entschieden – es sieht wirklich klasse aus und macht im Passepartout im Glasrahmen was her! Ab sofort ist jedes meiner Motive in dieser Form erhältlich. Die Formate sind ab 25 x 35 cm erhältlich, der Druckbereich entspricht DIN A4. Nach oben (fast) offen. Bewährt haben sich im Kunstverein Kunst Stuttgart International echte Holzrahmen in Weiß mit Passepartout in der Größe DIN A3 (40×50 cm außen, das gedruckte Bild ca. 30×40 cm). Diese Fotografien waren echte Hingucker.

BERLIN ROYAL – the new photo series

02.07.18 – BERLIN ROYAL – this is the new photo series after and alongside the successful photo concepts berlin minimal, “Mystical Series”, “Other Worlds” and “City from Below”. The first motives of BERLIN ROYAL were created in August 2018. The series will be continued, the goal is an illustrated book and exhibitions. The first motifs were exhibited at the Neue Art Dresden in January 2019. The concept is to show the royal-Prussian and imperial Berlin – without nostalgia and ignorance. The achievements of the architects and master builders, the designers, sculptors and craftsmen are to be honoured. And of course, the viewers of the photographs should be encouraged to see the kings and queens, emperors and generals of the time with a new perspective, because they tried to do their best for the people entrusted to them, for science and the arts, according to the standards of the time in often difficult times. There are about 40 motifs so far.
